Liverpool Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liverpool Express was a 1970s British rock band. They are famous for songs such as "You Are My Love" (which is one of Paul McCartney's favourite songs)[1] and "Every Man Must Have A Dream", charting several hits. They had success in Brazil and were the first band to do a major tour in South America.
Founding member Billy Kinsley previously played with The Merseybeats and The Merseys. Liverpool Express toured with both Rod Stewart and the influential rock band, Foreigner. One of Liverpool Express' members, pianist Roger Scott Craig, went on to join Fortune in 1982, and form Harlan Cage in 1996.
